Blaze Runners Inc.

Blaze Runners Inc. is a self-certified small disadvantaged business located in Caldwell, Idaho, registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) since February 18, 2004. The company operates as a Subchapter S Corporation and specializes in providing specialized vehicles, equipment, and personnel support for wildland fire prevention, readiness, and response efforts primarily to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Forest Service. With a corporate structure focused on supporting federal firefighting operations, Blaze Runners Inc. has established itself as a critical vendor in supplying essential resources to federal fire management agencies across multiple western states.

Through its federal contract awards, Blaze Runners Inc. has consistently delivered a comprehensive range of specialized firefighting resources to the USDA Forest Service. The company's primary offerings include Type 4, 5, and 6 fire engines, water handling services, heavy equipment rentals such as dozers, excavators, loaders, and trucks, and personnel support for fire prevention and suppression operations. Most of its contract awards have been firm fixed-price delivery orders issued through the National Interagency Fire Center (NIFC), primarily supporting the Forest Service's Fire and Aviation Management division. These contracts, while not typically designated with set-aside provisions, have consistently been awarded directly to Blaze Runners Inc. as the prime contractor, demonstrating the company's capability to meet federal agency requirements without major subcontractors.

Blaze Runners Inc. holds two significant Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contracts with the USDA Forest Service, both set aside for small businesses. The first is a $250,000 VIPR I-BPA for water handling services covering East Zone Regions 1, 2, 4, and 9, awarded on May 30, 2025, with an ultimate completion date of May 30, 2030. The second is another VIPR I-BPA for water handling services across Regions 1, 2, 4, 8, and 9, awarded on June 3, 2022, also with a $250,000 ceiling value. These contract vehicles enable the Forest Service to flexibly procure specialized wildland firefighting resources through the Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) system, allowing Blaze Runners Inc. to provide equipment, materials, supplies, transportation, and trained personnel to meet emergency response needs across multiple regional dispatch centers.
